From Bo's cruise last month

This is Bo's friend, Kraig, getting ready to zipline. He was lucky and got to go on the cruise in place of my pregnant self (they don't let you cruise in your 3rd trimester.)

Distance shot of their cruise ship. I am most envious of the time spent on the beaches. Oh, and the meals. And the stewards who cleaned the room. That's my favorite part of cruising.

Formal shot of the high performers from the local office that enjoyed this year's cruise.

some recent art projects

"2 cats and a dog" Colin's on left, Nate's on right

Family Portrait (including new baby, even though she's not here yet)
One thing I really love is how Colin drew in the perspective of Bo standing behind me, and the baby sitting on my lap. (He added a chair underneath me after this picture was taken.)

Family Portrait (including new baby, even though she's not here yet)
He said all our mouths are open because we all talk so much. : )

The heads for the above portraits were made with potato prints, bodies and rest were drawn with markers.

sleeping boys

ultrasound, 3-12-07

This is probably our last shot of the baby until she's born. Everything looked good today -- baby is still a girl; my placenta moved up nicely; she's already head down; she's a little big, but nothing to worry about.

In the pic above, her arm/hand are in front of her face. She wasn't very cooperative in letting us see her - this was the best profile shot the technician could get.

Due date is still set at May 16, but momma intuition tells me we'll be meeting her before then.

Valentine Portrait 2007

My parents were here for a nice long visit last month. While here, I convinced them to have their portrait taken with the boys. I love how it turned out!

I'm also glad, because somehow I didn't take a single picture during their stay. At least we have this wonderful portrait to remember February 2007!
